MAKIKO is Fundraising for :
Earthquake/Tsunami Relief and Medical Hair Loss
♪ I would like to invite you to sponsor me by donating
to either or both of these charities I wish to support
which are both very close to my heart ♪
■The Challenge (my own personal marathon!!!)■
My aim is to donate more than 10 inches of my hair to charity
■My Goals■
※ To raise money through this challenge to both of these charities :
◇ Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami Relief ongoing project: GlobalGiving’s Building Healthy Communities for Recovery. Even after more than a year since the devastating Earthquake/Tsunami disaster (March 2011) in JAPAN, people living in the affected regions are still struggling... This project supports them both physically and mentally to rebuild their own lives.
◇ UK charity My New Hair which supports people with medical hair loss and severe burns.
Personally, I know myself how hard it can be when it seems like there is no hope. But I can also relate to that wonderful feeling when some care and support can really lift your spirit up and carry you far away with strength you thought you could never have any more.
☆ I would be very honoured and very privileged
if I could be in part
of making someone feel that way☆
■About the Donation■
※ My hair will be donated more than 10 inches to a US charity Locks of Love, which helps children who are suffering from medical hair loss and severe burns.
※ The money raised will be DIRECTLY SENT to each charities.

But everything changed when I found out that my friend LORI had...
